然,对于同一列的感测电极:当所述驱动电路提供激励信号给一感测电极,驱动所述感测电极执行生物信息感测时,所述驱动电路并不提供电压信号给其余感测电极,其余感测电极上的电压由于信号干扰等影响会存在不一致等情况,因此对在执行生物信息感测的感测电极的寄生影响不同且均是未知得,而生物信息传感装置对感测精度要求相对较高,从而不利于生物信息的准确检测。

请一并参阅图1与图2,图1为本发明生物信息传感装置一实施方式的电路结构示意图。图2为图1所示生物信息传感装置的部分结构的俯视图。所述生物信息传感装置1包括多个感测电极111和驱动电路20。所述驱动电路20与所述多个感测电极111相连接,用于驱动所述多个感测电极111执行生物信息感测。所述生物信息传感装置1例如为指纹传感装置、耳纹传感装置等合适类型的传感装置。
所述生物信息传感装置1例如为电容式的生物信息传感装置,也可为其它合适类型的生物信息传感装置。
通常,电容式的传感装置包括互电容式的传感装置与自电容式的传感装置。
根据驱动电路20与感测电极111的配合关系不同,生物信息传感装置1可以是自电容式的生物信息传感装置或者是互电容式的生物信息传感装置。
在基于互电容式的生物信息传感装置中,所述互电容式的生物信息传感装置可包括多个驱动电极及多个感测电极。每一驱动电极与一感测电极之间形成互电容。在感测时,驱动电路提供激励信号给驱动电极,并接收来自感测电极输出的感测信号。当目标物体接近或触摸所述生物信息传感装置时,形成在驱动电极与感测电极之间的互电容的电荷量会有相应的变化,从而,感测电极会输出相应的感测信号给驱动电路,进而获取相关生物信息。
在基于自电容式的生物信息传感装置中,所述自电容式的生物信息传感装置包括多个感测电极。每一感测电极可形成对地的电容。在感测时,驱动电路提供激励信号给感测电极,并接收来自感测电极输出的感测信号。当目标物体接近或触摸所述生物信息传感装置时,目标物体与感测电极之间形成电容,引起感测电极上的电荷量的变化,从而,感测电极输出相应的感测信号给驱动电路,进而获取相关生物信息。
所述目标物体例如为手指、脚趾、耳朵等人体上的合适部位,但本发明并不局限于此,所述目标物体也可为其它合适的物件,并不局限于人体,也可为其它活体,甚至假体。

由于所述驱动电路20在提供所述激励信号给各列感测电极111中的一感测电极111时,提供所述第一参考信号给其余部分或全部感测电极111,从而,施加有所述第一参考信号的感测电极111对在执行生物信息感测的感测电极111的寄生影响是可知的,从而,所述驱动电路20在后续对生物信息的计算时可抵消可知的寄生影响,进而提高生物信息的感测精度。
所述第一参考信号例如为恒定的电压信号。
或者,所述第一参考信号与所述激励信号之间的压差保持不变,例如,所述第一参考信号与所述激励信号相同,从而减小其余感测电极111与在执行生物信息感测的感测电极111之间的寄生电容的充放电电量,进一步提高生物信息的感测精度。
在本实施方式中,所述驱动电路20逐行驱动感测电极111执行生物信息感测。然,可变更地,在其它实施方式中,所述驱动电路20也可一次同时驱动多行感测电极111执行生物信息感测。
进一步地,在本实施方式中,对于同一行的感测电极111:所述驱动电路20同时提供所述激励信号给部分感测电极111执行生物信息感测,并提供一第二参考信号给其余感测电极111中的部分或全部感测电极111。较佳地,提供所述第二参考信号给其余全部感测电极111。
对于同一行的感测电极111:所述驱动电路20通过先后多次同时提供所述激励信号给部分感测电极111执行生物信息感测,从而驱动完一行感测电极111执行生物信息感测。
当所述多个感测电极111形成在一芯片上时,采用对一行感测电极111的分时驱动方式,从而可减少所述芯片上的引脚数量,对此,后面会有相关叙述。
然,可变更地,在其它实施方式中,所述驱动电路20也可同时驱动一行的感测电极111均执行生物信息感测。例如,所述多个感测电极111是形成在显示屏中。当所述多个感测电极111设置在芯片上时,所述驱动电路也是可同时驱动一行的感测电极111均执行生物信息感测。
另外,由于所述驱动电路20在提供所述激励信号给各行感测电极111中的部分感测电极111时,提供所述第二参考信号给其余感测电极111中的部分或全部感测电极111,从而,施加有所述第二参考信号的感测电极111对在执行生物信息感测的感测电极111的寄生影响是可知的,从而,所述驱动电路20在后续对生物信息的计算时可抵消可知的寄生影响,进而提高生物信息的感测精度。
所述第二参考信号例如为恒定的电压信号。
或者,所述第二参考信号与所述激励信号之间的压差保持不变,例如,所述第二参考信号与所述激励信号相同,从而减小其余感测电极111与在执行生物信息感测的感测电极111之间的寄生电容的充放电电量,进一步提高生物信息的感测精度。

由于所述驱动电路20设置有所述数据选择电路24,从而可以实现对各行的感测电极111进行分时执行生物信息感测。
在一实施方式中,所述数据选择电路24包括多个数据选择器(Multiplexer)241。每一数据选择器241连接部分传感单元11,且进一步与所述参考信号产生电路23和所述感测驱动电路22分别连接。所述多个数据选择器241用于选择输出所述激励信号或所述第二参考信号给感测电极111。可选地,每一数据选择器241连接至少二列传感单元11。
